Stephanie felt it was good that we had the heavy topics in the morning and then had an activity after lunch to get everyone up move. Scotty, does not think that the professional appearance activities were good, but that it hasn't changed people's practice. He has seen flip flops and t-shirts. This needs to be addressed through evaluations, item number 6, professionalism. Evaluators will discuss this further. Scotty feels it is a good reminder to share phone etiquette and meeting etiquette. Patty felt that the day went too quickly, and maybe we needed a little more on the agenda. Jeff suggested that the technology training needs to have a strong connection to what we do. Scotty suggested maybe an iPad Tips and Tricks Training. Maybe transition into personal iTunes accounts and backing up iPads. We will talk about this more at Core Services.

Clean up/building issues:
  • Concrete parking
  • Doors
  • Weed Control

  • Building Work

Dennis
Dennis wanted to respond to all staff at the same time. He shared that the board is not in favor of spending money on things that do not impact students. Dennis and Scotty have taken the extra doors to the downtown office. He stated that as far as the budget, the board decided to reduce the mill levy to $1.25 from $1.50. Jeff asked, what is the board's plan for spending the money? Patty asked, if there is a long term plan for facilities? The board wants the funds to benefit students and there really is not a long term plan for facilities. Jan has called someone about the weed issue. The trailer in the back is not bothering anyone. Building work is probably not going to happen this year. At some point, we may consider adding a wall to close off the DL room.
